You can go via the right variant along the slope and past Zelenjak to the entrance of the gully.

You're right, there might be less snow there because of the southern slope.

This is how I went: Y Vrtača, Palec, Zelenjak, Y Begunjščica and back via Š.plaz. I started early in the dark, at the hut it was already light enough to turn off the light and continue towards Y Vrtača. Nowhere did I posthole, when I arrive below Vrtača I gear up (2 ice axes), quickly do a snow profile and it looks stable, I breathe a sigh of relief and go into Y Vrtača. Conditions are like this, it has slid, snow is dry, crust 0.5cm, on the slid part harder, icy, when the sun warms the higher rocks surrounded by snow, falling snow crystals too. At the top of Vrtača no wind, clear weather, descent and below I meet the first visitors. I go to Palec too, as part of the annual, then direct up. I return and see two going to Zelenjak, southern snow, on the ridge still OK, I go without backpack, up and down, then retreat from this heat. I return back, but it has already started postholing on the steepest part, lower in the forest OK, hard, I go to Y Begunjščica from the gully I see they went from Vrtača via J.gully, ridge. At the top nice here too, descend via Š.plaz. Icy, lots of visitors, nice day spent above Zelenica.

In my opinion you are one of the few who named the gully correctly. Y with its two branches is on the other side of the rocky barrier, between the left and the central one.

In the book zimski vzpon there is no description of the Y gully on Vrtača, it seemed to me too just a gully that is not very demanding, I descended back, also because of visiting two peaks Palec and Zelenjak.

Let me also report with a three-day delay from wanderings in Karawanks. Sunday was a really nice day and with Marijan we maximally used it. My companion already posted some beautiful pics, I'll post some more. We started at Ljubelj, past hut at Zelenica through Dry scree, first visited Palec, then Zelenjak and finally via Y-lonka ? to Vrtača. We returned by ridge, at the easiest end descended to Dry scree and on rotten snow (12 January) reached hut at Zelenica. Croats and Austrians predominated.

Start from Ljubelj, in column through Zelenica to Suho ruševje. There I left dilo and climbed up Left gully to top. Descent via Y and with board to valley. Conditions in shady gullies ideal for ascents.
